Fiorentina are prepared to sell Khouma Babacar this month.

Sky Italia says Crystal Palace are in contact with Fiorentina, but are yet to table a firm offer. It was claimed in England a bid had already been lodged.

Fiorentina are willing to sell - and Babacar is happy to consider moving in January.

If Palace come forward with a bid that pleases Fiorentina and terms attractive to Babacar a deal will be done.
